Honestly, I didn’t expect that.
When they entered, two tall and slightly intimidated Marcantonis ( from the Roman leader Marco Antonio) began to scoff: I don’t even know how to open an egg, I cook a little, that is, I put two things in the pan .
Then, Matteo, who did not know how to open the eggs, miraculously opened one in the longitudinal direction …. . Try it … and let me know if you can.
Tommaso, the one who can only put two things in the pan, on the first try, made these splendid origami pasta:
Paolo was missing, who was unable to come. But there was Marco, their “boss”.
As they worked, they kept joking. The lesson was very pleasant, fun: we talked, laughed, joked, learned, cooked, ate. The boys also “mocked” those who do not know how to cook, in a benevolent and light way, talking about themselves in the third person … as only the Tuscans know how to do.
- … but icchè you say … but you want to put? … but look there, what stuff … not those who do not even know how to break an egg … – still talking about themselves.
They also made a roast of veal rolled in almonds and pistachios and the most difficult dessert there is: ice cream.
- sure, if someone saw us now that I say … you know how he would make fun of us … but with a little bit of envy too ….
This was followed by the famous phrase of Marco de la Pierre:
Non ti curar di loro, ma guarda e impasta
